    Re: Ethernet Cables

    Time to try using a pair of fiber media converter (FMC). Fiber has the advantage of isolating noise (with potential SQ improvement), and can be used for long lengths.

    There are users of Lumin and other network players who reported positive SQ improvement with a fiber-based setup.

    Connection:
    WiFi Router -> FMC -> fiber -> FMC -> Lumin

    Models:
    Lumin U1 / M1 / D2 : TP-Link MC210CS (about $45 x 2)
    Lumin S1 / A1 / T1 / D1: TP-Link MC110CS (about $32 x 2)

    Note:
    The Lumin-side FMC needs to be equipped with a LPS. As a start, this $11 power supply received praises from multiple computeraudiophile forum members:

    (But please follow the connection in this post rather than the article, and to keep things simple, you do not need to buy an extra Ethernet switch.)

    Thank You Peter. Can you suggest a LPS and it's source?
